MINI PAPER BUILDINGS
This page has pics of the different card & paper models that I have put together. Most of these were free models found on the internet and reduced to a smaller size by me.
Cinderella's Castle
1:260 scale
Approx. 8 1/2" tall at the tallest point. This is reduced to 50% of the original model found at disneyexperience.com There are 2 more towers in the back which can not be seen in this pic.
The instruction were in German (sure wish I could have read them) but there were a few construction pics.
The real life Cinderella's Castle is in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Florida, USA. It was completed in July 1971. It is 189 feet tall and has 27 towers. This simplified model only has 9 towers.
There is also another Cinderella's Castle at the Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan.
